Overview

On a world far from Earth, where humans serve alien overlords, a young hero rises to stand against their oppressors, in this science-fiction adventure. US Army soldier Shad Williams has been drafted to fight in a new kind of war against a cavalcade of monsters on a hostile planet. By a sheer twist of fate, Shad, his younger sister, and their grandfather--along with ten million other unlucky people--were abducted to be pawns in an epic conflict between extraterrestrial species seeking to control the Reality Engine, a powerful computer that can create extraordinary technological wonders. If the humans claim victory over their competitors, they will be granted their freedom to return to Earth. As Shad and his motley crew undertake dangerous quests and battle undead pirates, bloodthirsty orcs, and other nightmarish creatures, their magical abilities and superhuman traits begin to develop, making them more than a match for any threat. Shad's uncanny speed and unerring aim has forged him into a skilled Gunslinger, a warrior determined to protect and defend his family and friends--and a weapon who will slaughter any enemy standing in their way. But these miraculous powers come with a price: their very humanity. Shad's physiology has been forever altered so he can never actually return to Earth. Now, to ensure the rest of the human captives can break free from slavery and build their own future in an alien-controlled solar system, he must find a way to stake their claim for the Reality Engine . . . The second volume of the hit sci-fi LitRPG series--with more than 500,000 views on Royal Road--now available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook!
